Re-reading:
Edward Maisel's seminal book Tai Chi for Health. This one was first published in the mid-1960's, and I picked up my first copy around 1970, when it was still pretty much the only book in English on the subject. Yang style.
Plus the local daily newspaper; The New Yorker, (weekly); The Fretboard Journal, and Guitar World Acoustic.
Do you recommend The Ranger?
ReplyDeleteI liked it. His character is not quite as bulletproof as Child's Reacher, but there is something of that flavor there. And the setting is dead-on.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I would offer that all of these on the list are readable -- pretty much these days, if I don't like a book, I put it down, so if I read it all the way through, it had something that held me to the end.
